Travelers Companies Moves Up

In Market Cap Rank, Passing ACEDividendChannel.com, Contributor

In the latest look at the underlying components of the S&P 500 ordered by

largest market capitalization, Travelers Companies Inc (NYSE: TRV ) has

taken over the #115 spot from ACE, Ltd. (NYSE: ACE), according to The

Market capitalization is an important data point for investors to keep an eye

on, for various reasons. The most basic reason is that it gives a true

comparison of the value attributed by the stock market to a given company’s

stock. Many beginning investors look at one stock trading at $10 and another

trading at $20 and mistakenly think the latter company is worth twice as

much — that of course is a completely meaningless comparison without

knowing how many shares of each company exist. But comparing market

capitalization (factoring in those share counts) creates a true “apples-

to-apples” comparison of the value of two stocks. In the case of Travelers

Companies Inc (NYSE: TRV ), the market cap is now $27.02 billion, versus

ACE, Ltd. (NYSE: ACE) at $26.88 billion.

Another reason market capitalization is important is where it places a

company in terms of its size tier in relation to peers — much like the way a

mid-size sedan is typically compared to other mid-size sedans (and not

SUV’s). This can have a direct impact on which mutual funds and ETFs are

willing to own the stock. For instance, a mutual fund that is focused solely on

Large Cap stocks may for example only be interested in those companies sized

$10 billion or larger. Another illustrative example is the S&P MidCap index

which essentially takes the S&P 500 index and “tosses out” the biggest 100companies so as to focus solely on the 400 smaller “up-and-comers” (which in

the right environment can outperform their larger rivals). So a company’s

market cap, especially in relation to other companies, carries great

importance, and for this reason we at The Online Investor find value to

putting together these rankings daily.
